Texas will have a much more uptempo offense under new OC Sterlin Gilbert. True Texas is stronger at RB than WR but as Chip Kelly showed at Oregon, an offense can be fast paced and still run a lot. Notre Dame lost a lot off their defense and Max Redfield, one of the best secondary players, was kicked of the team.

On offense, the Irish have a very good OL and an outstanding two-headed QB situation. Texas has a gambling, blitzing defense, but the pace will be higher than most think, so they will be feast or famine and allow some big plays.
